China Fujian Putian LNG Generation Project

Audit Analysis

A CDM fossil-fuel-switch project (LNG replacing coal) validated by TÜV NORD CERT with a jurisdictional grid baseline, but the extracted record reveals six material findings including errors in emission-reduction calculations, GWP values, and parameter definitions. Additionality assessment details are absent from the available documents, and no post-implementation verification report was found, leaving the project's real-world performance unconfirmed.

Project Description

Red Flags

• ⚠Six material findings in the validation report include errors in ER calculation, GWPCH4 values (should be 25), and parameter naming, indicating the initial documentation had significant quality issues
• ⚠Additionality test type and VVB confirmation of additionality are not stated in any extracted document, despite being a mandatory CDM requirement
• ⚠No post-implementation verification report found in the evidence set; the only document type is the 2015 validation report, so actual delivered credits are unconfirmed
• ⚠Leakage deduction of 0% is justified only as 'quantified' without a specific methodology or calculation shown in the extracted record
